Dear Professor,

Is it possible that I could take cognizance of the letter Bjerre, which you spoke (must in all cases be held in generalities). I would refer you naturally soon. If you think this request intrusive, I apologize and considered null and void. I would still like to know where to place Bjerre, in particular with respect to Zurich. We do not fit ²⁶.

All these things, which are the subject of your current work, are particularly present in my mind and occupy more than one. This year will undoubtedly bring clarity and a fresh and joyous war!

With my most affectionate.

Your Lou Andreas.

Cher ami,

So we all agreed to Dresden. Our meeting was held on 14.

Your comments on the exhibition (at the instigation of your son) seem very relevant. I think it should go the same for all evil, and new perspectives are opened there, for therapy and understanding for our.

I am in the writing of the history of the psychoanalytic movement ¹. The text is very energetic and straightforward. I ask for your help, for the time being, the following :

a. Eitingon when he come home in Vienna for the first time?

b. When the Association Freudian Zürich she began her activity?

Cher Ami,

I am working furiously on the "History of psychoanalytic movement" and I also do a lot to further. So I beg you to accept without back- thinking purely practical information.

We all vote for Dresden. Jones writes about it today ; it's complicated and incomprehensible. But it does not account, dit-yl, since his group has not yet been approved (1).

I arrive probably not read the work Karpinska. Your approval is good enough. As Jahrbuch is complete, perhaps take us in the Zeitschrift?

If you come on Sunday 18, I hope that you will also have time for us. Usual arrangement. Do you want Lou to our table? Sincerely

your Freud

P.-S. Provide letter of Brill.

Dear Professor,

Abraham writes that he is Dresden. We should all agree on this. I think Jung wants to get the numerical majority with the help of America. I send you, enclosed, Article Polish. It is very good. The few critical remarks are also easy to refute, they arise from the lack of practical experience of the author. Maybe I should add a small postscript(1). But you can also publish this work uncritically.

I will not come to Vienna Sunday in fifteen (the 18).

Sincerely

Ferenczi

Dear Professor Freud,

Abraham says that Jung was asked about the location of the next congress, I wonder if this is not the best time to suggest a dissolution of the association. The Berlin, Budapest and Vienna (London is not yet an official group, and we have not heard from Jung) combine in this application, Jung may be wary and keep Congress nilly, in the hope that we keep away. This would leave only master of the field, This should not happen if. Do not you think you could write him personally and offer, or a solution, whether, at least, an adjournment of the Congress this year, person who has authority or moral right a little bit similar to yours ? We could then refer the matter to a referendum in all groups, with individual vote, which would give us a good chance to win, because many undecided, comme Eder, vote in the sense of fear of repeating the painful farce of September.

Thank you very much for your encouraging letter which arrived this week. I work hard studying various issues in question, and I highly interesting materials. A case has made me realize more clearly than in the past significance of the castration complex in women, and its relation to the horror of blood and the humiliation of menstruation (Wake ideas childhood deprivation penis). It makes me think that the strange horror of menstruation as reflected in the folklore may be due, to a great extent, this complex in men; A typical example is the isolation of menstruating women who fear that their presence is a factor of impotence (symbolically, for example, not rotate milk, etc.).

I was chosen with McDougall, d’Oxford, to mediate a discussion on the Theory of Sexuality at a joint meeting of the British Psychological Society and the Psychiatric Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, the 10 March (1), as well as a discussion of ψα to the British Medical Association, the 30 July ⁽²⁾.

My clients spend all my expectations. I was eight patients per day, and I had to go to another this week Eder. Both pay 50 Kr. each, other 25 Kr. If things continue at this rate, and there is no reason why this is not the case, I can get married, which, I hope, will be my next step in life.

No doubt you received this week my two shipments ; the unfortunate Putnam, I am sorry for him.

About Loe, I guess the battle will be fought on the issue of morphine, because she chose this field : if it does not reserve morphine, she feels that its vessels are burned. I hope to have better news in your next letter ; she did not write from my visit to Vienna.

Have you decided to put your name to Moses ? Definitely !

Yours

Jones.

Dear Professor

Since my nose job, I was pretty well. Here, I had a brief relapse respiratory, which have now disappeared, so that I can now hope to regain my normal working capacity, although we can not exclude the possibility that other repairs (smaller) on the nasal turbinates are necessary. It is possible that I am obliged to pass this Sunday or next to Vienna (and that, and yet only, nose for stories).

I had a brief meeting with the members of the Association on

Jung's letter and we decided to propose Dresden. But I do not want to answer Jung after receiving your proposal on this, because we want to be in unison Vienna, Berlin and London.

Consultations increased, new patients also occur from time to time, which had not been the case for months.

For the Jahrbuch, I want to develop a theme that concerns me. However, symbolism does not lend itself – it is not yet ripe, as you rightly note. In reports to the Jahrbuch, I was given the general theory of the neuroses a good subject, but difficult.

Reading test on laughter Bergson was an opportunity for me to reflect on the general laughter. I think I found a supplement, significant, your point of view on laughter, developed in "Jokes" * ².

Here is a similar complement your explanation of rescue fantasy (as compensation for the birth)³ : children who struggle with oedipal fantasy (aggression against the father, sex assault.[ow] sad.[ique] against the mother) feel inhibited in these fantasies by feelings of gratitude. To engage in more reckless Oedipal fantasy, it would eliminate the feeling of the world being-forced-to-the-gratitude by saving, also, the lives of his parents to be "even" with them (4).

Sincerely

Your Ferenczi

Cher Ami,

You will probably receive our honorable president's invitation to rule on the place of the next congress. This is incor-rect again, as another decision was made at the Congress What do you do? Do not give any response until you have consulted with us, Berlin and London. Rank you write more.

Jones sent a letter today from Putnam in which he informs us that his youngest daughter 17 years old (not Griselda) died of diabetes.

He says, other, we have known as a child ², in 1909. But I can absolutely not remember. It would be interesting to know whether, you, You can.

This hateful strike (3) continues to paralyze us.

With my cordial greetings to you and Mrs. G.,

Dear Jones,

In exchange for your letter of Putnam, I will address one that seems pretty good. Agreed about Jung appears as a strong decision if you remember my words, « brutal, insincere, sometimes dishonest ". Even in theory, it makes more concessions than we had hoped, even if, of course, the repressed returns a "Back door" [through the back door]. Return the letter to the needs of the response. I deplore the loss of her child, but this is not the beloved, Griselda ⁽¹⁾.

Loe progressing quite, if I'm not mistaken. You have received the circular Jung about Congress. I beg you not to answer before making contact with Berlin, BPEST and Vienna. We want to measure forces with Zurich and act in concert. Tell me what you propose to move our group. You hold it up to the decision of Congress, vote for Schandau and go there with the most members possible? Or suggest something which excludes Congress and is almost late to meetings ? Think ahead and give your answer to Rank or Sachs, who asked the same question Ferenczi and Abraham.

Thank you for the interesting passage Boas. I work at History of the movement ψα, I'm trying to make it as fun as possible and indiscreet.

Faithfully to you

Freud

Dear Professor, This is all my heart that I answer your affectionate greetings. I wish you all kinds of happiness for you and yours. For me just take a year where what is best is so closely tied to your person that I can never remember without me repeat myself "Thank! ».

Enclosed you will find a relatively young person ²³, about which I had written in November of Berlin that I did more with it as very distant relationship. But since you insist, I send - not without mixed feelings. But also with the warmest memories of your
